The Office of Sustainability is currently conducting a Regional Climate Action Plan Survey to collect information on residents' climate and sustainability priorities. This work is funded by an EPA Climate Pollution Reduction Grant, and residents within our Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) can participate in the survey. That includes the following 11 counties: In Kentucky: Louisville/Jefferson County, Bullitt County, Oldham County, Shelby County, Spencer County, Henry County, and Trimble County; In Indiana: Clark County, Floyd County, Harrison County, and Washington County. Responses before January 31 are eligible to enter a raffle and win some sustainable swag! Take the survey now at https://louisville.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dmYa3jp8EKAZU3A This work is funded by a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Climate Pollution Reduction Grant and will be used by the Office to update and improve Louisville's climate action plans. Louisville Metro Government has received a grant from the EPA to create an updated Climate Action Plan for the region. This work builds on past and ongoing community-engaged efforts, including the Louisville Metro Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Plan and similar plans from other regions. It is also in support of the priorities outlined in A Path Forward for Louisville (https://apathforward4lou.org/). This Climate Action Plan aims to reduce emissions and position this region for larger EPA grants. The goals are to: 1. Implement actions to reduce major greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and beyond; 2. Pursue actions to achieve community benefits in low-income areas and areas that experience most environmental harms; 3. Pursue effective policies and programs that can be “scaled up” across other areas and initiatives. This 5-10 minute survey will tell us what work we should prioritize. As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW!

On September 28, 2000, former Indiana State trooper David Camm returned to his Floyd County, Indiana home to find his wife and children murdered. After three trials and thirteen years in prison, he was acquitted. Camm's case remains known as one of the most egregious wrongful convictions in Indiana's recent history. So what did happen to the Camm family? Why did investigators hone in on Camm despite the fact a violent felon's DNA was found at the murder scene? What was the real story of all the blood evidence used to arrest and convict Camm?Retired Federal Bureau of Investigation agent Gary Dunn was kind enough to share with us a copy of the probable cause affidavit in Camm's case. Dunn investigated Camm's case for the defense, and chronicled his experience in the book Their Bloody Lies and Persecution of David Camm: Part One. It's a great book that delves deeply into the crime. He is working on part two.In this episode, we will go through the entire PCA with Gary, and he will explain the weaknesses and fabrications in the case.By Gary's detailed book on the case: Their Bloody Lies and Persecution of David CammAlso, check out Gary's website on the case, to read the first chapter for free: https://www.theirbloodylies.com/A report from the News and Tribune on the day of the Camm family murders: https://www.newsandtribune.com/news/local_news/normal-day-ended-in-murder-for-camm-family/article_27335bd2-cdaf-5cfc-bb31-e104409b464d.htmlA WAVE report on the 2006 trial: https://www.wave3.com/story/4488420/february-9-2006-day-24-pieces-to-the-puzzle/A WAVE report on the 2006 conviction: https://www.wave3.com/story/4600249/camm-jurors-say-they-were-swayed-by-medical-evidence/A News and Tribune report on the case: https://www.newsandtribune.com/news/local_news/judge-drops-conspiracy-charge-against-david-camm/article_30761d6b-85e4-5d1f-86c2-750c089e9b0c.htmlA post from Officer.com on the Camm case: https://www.officer.com/home/article/10250471/murder-on-lockhart-roadA WDRB report on Donald Forrester's role in the Camm case: https://www.wdrb.com/news/david-camm-blog-jailhouse-informants/article_23d3b6e8-8a19-5cba-98e3-1aecaa2c410f.htmlA report from WAVE on the third and final trial in the Camm case: https://www.wave3.com/story/23652064/camm-trial-109-prosecutors-smack-touch-dna-favorable-to-camm-as-unreliable/A WAVE report on calls relevant to the Camm case: https://www.wave3.com/story/23394189/camm-trial-827-camm-called-investigator-wifes-employer-before-arrest/A WDRB report on Janice Renn's testimony: https://www.wdrb.com/news/david-camm-blog-janice-renn-testifies/article_9f6128c6-d70d-5bbe-971e-8b86c87f545c.htmlAnother book by John Glatt on the case: One Deadly Night: A State Trooper, Triple Homicide, and a Search for JusticeThe Murder Sheet participates in the Amazon Associate program and earns money from qualifying purchases.Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC .See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette Digital News Desk, and I'm here with your update for December 27, 2023.There will be a slight chance for snow for the first half of the day on Wednesday, mostly before 11 a.m. If it does arrive, it will most likely only be a dusting of snow.The high temperature in the Cedar Rapids area will be 38 degrees with cloudy skies, according to the National Weather Service.With a large swath of Eastern Iowa in extreme drought, the Christmas holidays brought a gift to thirsty cities and farms: steady rain.In a 48-hour period ending at 8 a.m. Tuesday, most locations in Eastern Iowa received at least a half inch of rain — and some considerably more, according to reports to the National Weather Service.Official readings in Cedar Rapids (.58 inches) and Iowa City (.60 inches) were on the low end of the scale. Reports to the weather service said that Williamsburg received 1.01 inches, and that some communities came close to that level.Iowa is entering its 189th week in a row of abnormally dry and drought conditions — making it the longest drought in the state since the 1950s. Mellow Mushroom announced it will be closing its Coralville location at the end of the year.The Coralville site will close Dec. 31 after almost nine years in business at Coral Ridge Mall. The quirky, psychedelic-themed restaurant opened at the mall in February 2015, replacing the space previously held by Bennigan's.A former elementary school building in the northern Iowa town of Rockford was destroyed by fire last week.The fire was reported at around 10 p.m. Friday, according to a Facebook post by the Floyd County Emergency Management Agency. First responders found the building, at 205 Second Ave. NW, fully engulfed when they arrived.Every fire department in Floyd County responded to the scene, as well as sheriff's deputies, EMS personnel and Floyd County Search and Rescue. The fire also drew the Greene Fire Department from neighboring Butler County.According to assessor's records, the school was built in 1900. The emergency management agency wrote that the building replaced another school that was built in 1873 and lost to fire in 1899.

It's advisable to schedule PPEs at least six weeks before the sports season begins to allow time for further tests or treatment if needed. During a PPE, a physician examines medical history, conducts a physical tailored to the sport, and checks for underlying conditions. It's crucial not only for eligibility but for athletes' overall health and safety. CareSource offers sports physicals through its mobile unit, Wellness on Wheels, in various locations throughout September. However, sports physicals should not replace a child's annual well visit, which provides a more comprehensive view of their overall health, including immunizations and developmental milestones............This from Georgia Trend Daily       Weather:    This weekend we are going to stay in the Low 80's and in the high 70's and the lows are going to be in the low 60s and high 50s.

The incident occurred when the driver placed a box by the front door of a home, and an eastern diamondback snake leaped out and bit her. She quickly fell ill and called for assistance. She was subsequently hospitalized and was reported to be in "very serious" condition. The snake responsible for the bite was captured and euthanized. Eastern diamondback rattlesnakes are common in the Southeastern United States and are the largest rattlesnake species, with a bite that can be fatal in 10% to 20% of cases if left untreated. Martin County, where the incident occurred, is located on Florida's Atlantic coast, just north of Palm Beach. The driver's name and age were not disclosed in the report............This from Fox 5  Please be careful around snakes. As it starts to get cold, they will try to find warmer places to lie.

They are even showing up on the back roads. Saw one today on the corner of Due West and Mount Tabor.”  If you don't know what a Panhandler is it is someone who begs for money on a street corner or just in passing.  These are your responses from actual Paulding county citizens - as reported on Whats Happening Paulding County   Laura Russell Glazener from Dallas “Bidenomics”  Faye Witt from Dallas “You could make up bags with easy to open cans of food, toothbrushes and paste, a comb a couple of bottles of water, hygiene products.  Have different items for men and women. Our church has done this. I have even bought cheap umbrellas to have to give out if you see someone in the rain. They are someone's family.”    Angie Holland Callahan from Dallas “Some folks are just one sickness, one accident, 1 paycheck from joining them, whatever happened to compassion.  A homeless shelter is needed and better resources available to them.”    Cody Brock from Villa Rica “God forbid people need help.”    Kelli Sluder from Hiram “You don't have to necessarily give him money.    Instead of posting on Facebook why don't you just buy them food or something.”    From the What's Happening in Paulding County Facebook page:  Breanna Simmons posted “North Georgia Fair !!   So y'all …!!

Yes we had bags checked and things mentioned, but I never backed down. I took everything we needed with us wherever we went no matter what they said.  Peanut butter crackers, juice boxes, bottled water went everywhere we went.”  Tera Pae from Dallas “Go to DT get a makeup bag and get a Cricut and print out Diabetes Medical Bag on it and add snacks and water. They will leave it alone.”  Stephanie Brady from Dallas “My sons type 1……I could see them saying no to the drinks but I would absolutely be taking in snacks for a low. You don't have time to wait in line when there's an urgent fast low coming on. I will also lie and say he has food allergies he can only eat what I packed “  Brenda Thomas from Hiram “Maybe that would be some good feed back to the higher up.

The Creekside Towers development, located off South Cobb Drive, plans to increase the unit count from 200 to 295. While the building's height would remain the same, the space for amenities would be reduced, and additional underground parking would be included. The city planning staff and planning commission have recommended approval of the application. If approved, construction is set to begin in winter, and the tower would consist of various unit types. The developer has also pledged to reserve four units at reduced rates for city first responders.     Story 3: council   The City Council is set to vote on appointing Kathy Young to represent Ward 7 for the remainder of 2023. The vacancy in Ward 7 was created when Lewis Wheaton resigned after moving out of his ward. Mayor Derek Norton and council members have expressed support for Young's appointment.

The River Ridge girls will play for the Class AAAAAA state championship. The Knights beat Langston Hughes 60-46 in Saturday night's semifinal at the University of West Georgia, bolstered by a lockdown performance on the defensive end and a 21-point game from Sophia Pearl. The win set River Ridge (26-5) up a rematch with Lovejoy in Friday's state championship at the Macon Coliseum. The Wildcats are the reigning champions and knocked off both River Ridge and Sequoyah in the playoffs last season. The game will tip off Friday afternoon at 5:30 PM and will air statewide on Georgia Public Broadcasting. GPB will provide television coverage for all state championship basketball games. For the first time in more than 40 years, the Cherokee boys basketball team will be playing for a state championship. The Warriors earned their first trip to the state finals since 1982 with a 63-60 overtime victory over Norcross in a Class AAAAAAA semifinal Saturday at the Georgia State Convocation Center. Cherokee (25-6) will play Region 5AAAAAAA rival Wheeler next Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Macon Coliseum. The Warriors lost all three meetings with the Wildcats this season, including the region title game. It will be only the second state championship appearance for Cherokee, which lost to Campbell 68-67 in the 1982 Class AAAA title game. That team was led by the late Tony Ingle, the future coach at Kennesaw State and a Cherokee County Sports Hall of Famer. The Warriors will also try to become only the second boys GHSA state champion from Cherokee County, joining two-time champ Canton (1942, 1951).   A man was rescued by firefighters Saturday after he was buried in a collapsed trench, Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services reported. Cherokee County firefighters responded to a person trapped in a trench at about 1:30 p.m. on Hilltop Lane, off Riverlake Drive near Woodstock Saturday, according to the fire department, where they found a man "buried up to his neck." Firefighters called a trench rescue team from Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services for aid, and stabilized the area and removed dirt from around the man. First responders provided medical care and monitored the man while he was trapped until he could be removed. He was completely removed from the trench at about 3:45 p.m., according to the fire department. The man was treated and transported to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital in stable condition. According to the fire department, the man was working on waterproofing a residential basement at the time of the incident. Police released the identification Monday of a Woodstock woman who was shot and killed Saturday at a home in Rome. A Rome Police Department report states that police arrived at 3 Shadowbrook Drive Saturday evening at 10:52 p.m. and 21-year-old Ellis Geoffery Marrs exited the residence. He told police "he had just shot someone," the report stated and police detained him before calling for backup and entering the residence. Once in the back yard, the responding officer stated a woman was attempting to perform life saving procedures on 51-year-old Iris Dail Edwards on the patio of the home. EMTs arrived on the scene and began to save Edwards. The responding officer found the firearm sitting on top of a grill with the magazine ejected. The officer then cleared a round from the gun and placed it in the trunk of their patrol vehicle. Edwards was pronounced dead on the scene by the Floyd County coroner's office. Her body was transported to the GBI Crime Lab awaiting an autopsy. Marrs was booked into the Floyd County Jail early Sunday. Marrs is charged with murder and as of early Monday he remained in the Floyd County Jail. Additional charges are pending the results of the continuing investigation. It was the second fatal shooting in four weeks in Rome. On Feb. 4, an Aragon man was killed outside a Park Homes apartment on Reservoir Street off Turner McCall Boulevard. Thomas Fountain will return to his Cherokee County roots to perform at the Canton Theatre at 7 p.m. on March 11. Fountain's performance in the Canton Theatre is arranged as a songwriter listening room to provide a more intimate listening experience for the audience. Each song's history and origin will get a deep-dive explanation at its performance. He also plans on playing unreleased music that he's written in recent months. Fountain said that he enjoys smaller venues where he is able to personalize the audience experience more. His local sponsors will also have merchant booths set up at the theater during his concert. Since the start of his musical career, Fountain has toured 10 states with performers like Chris Stapleton and Charlie Daniels. His most recent single, “Window Pane,” was released on Sept. 24, 2021. His music video for “It Don't Matter,” which was self-produced by Fountain and recorded in Cherokee County, was posted on YouTube on June 10, 2021. The singer described his music as something that sounds and feels more like 90s country than the modern direction of the genre. Growing up on musical influences like Alan Jackson and Garth Brooks, Fountain said that this style has always found its way back into his own compositions. Reserved seating is sold out but general admission tickets are still available for purchase through eventbrite for $20, not including taxes and fees. A private pre-show meet and greet with Fountain can be added on for an additional $20. A gift bag raffle ticket can be purchased for $10 as well as a full-sized signed event poster for $15. The Etowah boys' state title dreams came to an end Saturday night they it fell 56-53 to Alexander in a Class AAAAAA semifinal heartbreaker at the University of West Georgia. It was a tight game throughout, with Etowah (22-10) leading 10-7 after the first quarter. Alexander's size advantage was clear from the start, with 6-foot-8 forward Braedan Lue controlling the board. Lue scored the Cougars' first five points and finished the night with 18 points. Brandon Rechsteiner led Etowah with 15 points in his final high school game before heading to Virginia Tech. Dimitri Angelakos scored 13 points, followed by Aiden Weaver, who added 10 points. Alexander (27-5) will play Lee County for the state championship Friday at the Macon Coliseum. Lue shined in crunch time. Down four points with under 2 minutes to go, he single-handedly took the lead for the Cougars, scoring through contact and converting the three-point to make the score 54-53 in their favor. The Eagles were forced to foul, and after a few attempts to get into the bonus, Marvin McGhee IV broke free for a dunk. Out of a timeout, Rechsteiner got a near half-court shot up, but it rimmed out, and Etowah's run was over. It was an emotional ending for Dasinger and the Eagles, with the core of Rechsteiner, Etter, Clemmons, Kyle Tipper and others all seniors. #CherokeeCounty #Georgia #LocalNews           -          -          -          -          -          -          The Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast is local news for Woodstock, Canton, and all of Cherokee County. Register Here for your essential digital news.             This podcast was produced and published for the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger and TribuneLedgerNews.com by BG Ad Group     For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com/    https://cuofga.org/   https://www.drakerealty.com/   https://www.esogrepair.com/         See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is the first time we've been sent a Mothman sighting from Virginia, and us both being from Virginia we were excited to receive it!Hi my name is Scott, this story took place around Thanksgiving of 2019. I was turkey hunting on my friend's land in Floyd County. It was sometime around 6:00 in the morning, I came up on a group of turkeys in the woods. Keep in mind this is about a mile out in the middle of nowhere in a forest not a soul around and still a little dark. I shot at one of the turkeys and hit it, it fell down dead, the other ones took off. That's when I heard this god awful screeching sound .I turned and looked in the direction the sound came from up in an old oak tree stood a dark brown figure. It looks like a cross between a bird and a man. It was maybe 7 feet tall, with huge wings and what looked like yellow or red glowing eyes. About as soon as I saw it, it leapt up out of the tree and flew off headed north. Was it after the group of turkeys? I grabbed the one I shot and booked it out of there. I had no idea what that thing was but knew I just wanted to get home.Fast forward a few months and it's the COVID lockdown. I'm watching a documentary on The Mothman on the Travel Channel. The creature they described sure does sound a lot like what I saw! We also ain't that far from West Virginia. I also saw that The Mothman shows up when something bad is about to happen. Could this have been related to the COVID outbreaks? Thank you for taking the time to listen to my story. - ScottWow thank you Scott for this incredible story. As I mentioned before we are both very excited to receive a Mothman story from our home state. That is something to think about, perhaps Mothman was trying to warn us of the coming COVID outbreak. We did receive another Mothman sighting from 2019, but it was in Michigan. It's hard to say but definitely something to wonder about.Remember if you have a paranormal story and want to send it in for us to use send it to us at webmaster@spookyappalachia.com.

Recorded history of the Chubb family in North America dates back to 1775. Nicholas Chubb, the oldest known ancestor, is listed as a free colored male, head of a household on the 1820 census of Caswell County, North Carolina. John Henry Chubb, along with his wife, daughter and eight sons were originally in North Carolina. Kenneth Jones, another descendent of the Chubbtown founders, researched the family's history and found that the 1830 census listed Chubbs living as free blacks in North Carolina. The Chubbs and other free blacks journeyed to Georgia and settled near a creek in the northwest corner of the state sometime between 1850 and 1864.According to records of Floyd County, where Chubbtown is located, Henry Chub (spelled with one b), one of the original eight sons, purchased 120 acres for $900 in 1864, before the end of the Civil War.The settlement grew to include a church, school, post office, meeting hall and a lodge. It also had businesses such as a saw mill, cotton gin, wagon company, blacksmith, grist mill, syrup mill and a company that made caskets. The settlers farmed the land and were self-sufficient.During the Post-Reconstruction period the Chubb brothers continued purchasing real estate to become the self-sufficient community known as Chubbtown. The Chubb family remained and prospered in Floyd County, Georgia, while many southern blacks were seeking prosperity in the north. The town was spared destruction by the Union Army during the Civil War.[5] The family's prosperity declined after 1916 when a devastating flood destroyed  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Last week, over the course of two consecutive nights, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's private home in Floyd County, Georgia, was swatted not once, but twice. The act of “swatting” refers to when an armed police unit is falsely sent to someone's house. Usually how it plays out is that someone picks up the phone, dials in a fake distress call to the police, tells them about some fake crime happening at a certain address, which then prompts the police to send in a tactical SWAT team to that person's house. Greene was sleeping at her home in Floyd County, when all of a sudden she was woken up by the sound of a doorbell, as well as knocking on her door. When she looked out of her bedroom window, she could see flashlights and the silhouettes of people outside. After seeing this, she quickly jumped out of bed, got dressed, and walked to the front door. And by instinct, she reached for her gun—although fortunately, something told her to put it down—a decision that might've actually saved her life. ⭕️ Sign up for our NEWSLETTER and stay in touch

This week we welcomed Velvet Dowdy to the show. She's running for House in District 11, which encompasses Henderson County. She talked about education, PFAS chemical contamination, and how she would make progress in Frankfort. Jazmin talked this week about a ruling overturning much of 2022's SB1, which made special laws for JCPS that constrained the school board. The judge's ruling includes several funny segments, and Jazmin told us all about it. Also discussed were two police shootings -- one in Louisville and one in Floyd County. Plus, lots of quick hits.

As a journalist now for 19 years WKYT's Amber Philpott says there have been stories that have quite frankly just fascinated her. There are stories that when simply mentioned she is compelled to click on our watch to learn the latest in the case or story. One of those stories is that of disgraced eastern Kentucky lawyer Eric C. Conn. The Floyd County attorney managed to pull off the largest social security fraud scheme in U.S. history. Conn's story is one that is almost unbelievable and one that you might think was ripped from the pages of a Hollywood script. Conn's story was recently released as part of a new docuseries, The Big Conn on Apple TV+. For this episode of Uniquely Kentucky host Amber Philpott is talking with former WKYT and WYMT reporter and anchor Tanner Hesterberg. He has worked on this case in his reporter days, but now is back in eastern Kentucky as an attorney and fighting to help some of Conn's clients try and get their benefits back.

This week, we begin our journey throughout Appalachia in Floyd County, Virginia, home of Earl White. Then, we'll travel back to the early 20th century, when nurse Mary Breckenridge launched a midwifery program in Eastern Kentucky. We'll also meet two student reporters at the Fayette Institute of Technology, who bring us stories about Anstead, West Virginia, and finally, we meet journalist Kim Kelley, who recently authored “Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor,” to learn about the pro-Union history of Appalachian people.

This week, we begin our journey throughout Appalachia in Floyd County, Virginia, home of Earl White. White is working to amplify the often-overlooked participation of Black musicians in old-time music. Then, we'll travel back to the early 20th century, when nurse Mary Breckenridge launched a midwifery program in Eastern Kentucky. That program would become known across the world for its positive impacts on infant survival rates. We hear from the director of the film, Angels on Horseback to learn more. Today , births by midwives are less common but we  learn about that from Lauren Santucci, a film director whose documentary “Birth Place” follows a mother in Parkersburg, West Virginia. We'll also meet two student reporters at the Fayette Institute of Technology, who bring us stories about Anstead, West Virginia and about safety concerns along Route 60. And finally, we meet journalist Kim Kelley, who recently authored “Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor,” to learn about the pro-Union history of Appalachian people.

This week, we're airing an encore episode of Inside Appalachia. We'll meet a man who makes wooden turkey calls, not ordinary turkey calls. Painter Brian Aliff doesn't call himself an artist, but he intricately paints his turkey calls, which are now collectors' items. We'll also meet people who make wooden paddles by hand and custom-decorate each one, and a man who repairs cuckoo clocks. Finally, we'll travel to some of the most beautiful spots in Appalachia to find wildflowers, like Dolly Sods and the Canaan Valley of West Virginia. And we wonder -- are these areas becoming too popular? Those stories and more this week Inside Appalachia.  Welder Keeps Old Clocks Ticking When you need to check the time, where do you look? Most people turn to their phones or digital watches. These days, it seems like every electronic device has a clock function in addition to whatever it's supposed to do, but it hasn't always been this way. Not all that long ago, marking the passage of time was the job of one device — a clock. Folkways reporter Zack Harold spent some time with Carl Witt, a man in Fairview, West Virginia who learned how to repair clocks after crossing paths with the late Charles Decker. Witt, a welder at the time, decided to retire and went on to start his own clock repair business — Curiosity Clockworks.  Dolly Sods Hosts Wildflower Pilgrimage Dolly Sods is federally protected public land — full of rocky ridges, soggy bogs and beautiful views. It's also the site of an annual nature walk called the West Virginia Wildflower Pilgrimage. This weekend will be the 60th time that wildflower and birding experts descend on the area for the event. Inside Appalachia co-host Mason Adams made the pilgrimage from his home in Floyd County, Virginia to Dolly Sods last year for the pilgrimage. Paddlers Design Their Own Gear Appalachia has several huge rivers: the Gauley, the Youghiogheny and the New River, just to name a few. Whitewater paddling is popular in the region, but it wasn't that long ago modern paddlers first started exploring these rivers, designing their own gear and even building their own paddles. Some of those DIY paddle makers are now master crafters and their work is in high demand. As part of our Inside Appalachia Folkways Project, Clara Haizlett learned more. Handmade Turkey Calls Like many Appalachian traditions, turkey calls go way back. Historically, they've been used as a hunting tool, but one West Virginia artist has taken it to the next level. Brian Aliff makes hand-crafted, prize-winning decorative turkey calls. These pieces are functional and they're becoming collector's items, but it took a while for Aliff to think of himself as an artist. Hear Folkways reporter Connie Kitts talk with Aliff on this week's episode. Increase In Tourism Puts Strain On Local Infrastructure Tucker County, West Virginia, has seen a surge of new visitors from Washington, D.C. in the years since U.S. Route 48, also known as Corridor H, opened.  The growing number of visitors is good for business, but it's also straining the resources of a county with just one stoplight and 7,000 year-round residents. Mason Adams visited the towns of Thomas and Davis in Tucker County, West Virginia and has this story about managing growth and resources against the backdrop of expansive natural beauty.
